Does Warren Buffet Twitter?

good point, one I find myself needing to be reminded of again and again.

It is incredible the amount of time that is wasted in a single day. We all have the same amount of hours each and every day. But the difference between the people is how many hours are being spent being productive. Warren has built himself a HUGE amount of wealth (2nd in the world now), and he has done it all himself. A Ton of lessons can be learned from a man of his caliber.

It's a good point...to a point (LOL) If the ONLY thing that matters to you is making money then this principle is something you will probably want to live by. But for us "non type-As" (), that isn't the only thing that is important to us and other things that provide peace, comfort, happiness, or convenience might be a little bit more important to us than they are to a more money-driven individual.

Concentration and focus, not allowing yourself to become distracted. That's how things get done.

I will often be on my laptop at night reading something I saved to Documents during the day, and a thought will come into my head, something I should do tomorrow when I'm online. If I were to try to find a pen, I'd probably lose that thought, so I instead open wordpad and make a quick note. I create a 'making money to-do list' for the coming day.

First thing in the morning I go straight to that list. I don't look at my emails, I don't look around on the Warrior Forum or any of the other forums I visit, I don't play games, I don't even check my bank balance until I have looked at that to-do list...and DONE those things.

That's how I get things done. I DO them. A few days ago my list included reworking the text on a website to try to increase conversion (I had learned a few new things to try. Thanks Frank.), then I went to wikianswers and spent four and a half hours answering questions pertinent to my niche (which helps drive traffic to my site, much akin to article marketing), I fleshed out three different articles (which I will finish and submit another day), then I researched keywords for a couple other projects I am considering, which burned up another two hours of my day, and only after that was finished did I check emails and do the 'frivilous' time-waster stuff that so many people do.

Knowing what to do is the first thing to getting anything done. Once you know what needs to be done, get to it before doing anything else, don't allow yourself to be distracted, and you'd be surprised what you can accomplish. Before you know it you'll be making money online.

Warren Buffet, obviously, knows what needs to be done. He focuses on making money. (He's old school. Computers could help him make money but I don't think he knows how to even turn one on, let alone how they could make money for him, other than buying Dell or HP stock. Besides, the way he does it has served him very well, so why change now?)

Recall how he completely avoided buying into computer tech stocks when everyone else was going hot and heavy for them? Smart man. Look at them now.

Unless Warren has moved recently, he still lives in the same average house he and his wife lived in for 40 years. I've driven by it. It's just an average neighborhood full of normal-looking post WWII era homes, not gaudy or showy at all. You'd never know from looking at it that one of the world's richest men lives there. He's far from pretentious and even answers his door himself when someone rings the doorbell. (Bet Steve Jobs or Bill Gates never do that.)

His mind isn't on living in a showcase mansion, heck, it's not even on what color the wallpaper is. That stuff doesn't help him make money, so why give it a second thought? Makes sense to me.

The way I've always seen it is if I'm not making money, I'm spending money.

I'd much prefer to be making money.

As the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., he has responsibility to his share holders and that is the reason he cares so much about making money. He wants to do his job the best he can.

On his personal life, he does not care so much about money and most importantly, he does not like ostentatious display of wealth.

Warren Buffet is believed to be a genius. He has become something of an enigma to people. While its true that most of our time should be occupied in things with the most value for our business, but sometimes we need to make social connections too. Social contacts are one of the best assets in any business.
